James Fowler

The saints are sinners still. Our best tears need to be wept over, the strongest faith is mixed with unbelief, our most flaming love is cold compared with what Jesus deserves, and our intensest zeal still lacks the full fervor which the bleeding wounds and pierced heart of the crucified might claim at our hands. Our best things need a sin offering, or they would condemn us.

INGREDIENTS

1/2 c Milk
3/4 Sticks unsalted butter
1/4 c All-purpose flour
3 lg Eggs
1 lb Round white potatoes; scrubbed
1/4 c Minced fresh parsley leaves
1/4 c Freshly grated parmesan

INSTRUCTIONS

In a small heavy saucepan combine the milk and 1/2 stick of the butter,
bring the milk to a boil,
and add the flour, whisking until the mixture cleans the sides of the pan.
Cook the mixture over moderately low heat, whisking, for 1 minute and
remove the pan from the heat. Beat in the eggs, 1 at a time, beating well
after each addition, and keep the mixture warm, covered.
In a saucepan cover the potatoes with 2 inches salted water, bring the
water to a boil, and simmer the potatoes, covered, for 30 to 40 minutes, or
until they are tender. Drain the potatoes, let them cool until they can be
handled, and peel them. Force the potatoes through a ricer or food mill
into a bowl, add the egg mixture, and with an electric mixer beat the
mixture well. Stir in the parsley and salt and pepper and transfer the
mixture to a pastry bag fitted with a large tip. Pipe mounds of the mixture
into a buttered 1 1/2 quart gratin dish, sprinkle the top with the
Parmesan, and dot it with the remaining 2 tablespoons butter. Bake the
gnocchi in a preheated 400 degree oven for 30 to 35 minutes, or until it is
puffed and golden.
